My family celebrates the feast of St. Nicholas, where the tradition is to put out your shoes or stockings for him to fill. This comes from the story that St. Nicholas placed gold coins in a poor families' stockings that were hanging to try to help them get out of financial debt and slavery. (You can read the story here.)

Well yesterday, I wanted to create little packages to give to my 1st grade students and children (for their stockings) in honor of his celebration day:) You can easily create a version yourself...

We celebrated too! My boys each got a little Playmobil St. Nick like this: http://www.amazon.com/Playmobil-5875-Santa-Blister/dp/B0045JHOYC/ref=sr_1_5?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1323266916&sr=1-5 and some chocolate coins! They were big hits! Isn't this part of being a momma so fun?

i love simple and sweet traditions. I would love to start a new one with my family. since my daughter is only 1, now would be a perfect time to start. This reminds me, i've been meaning to start a collection of washi tape :)
